I recently purchased 2 of these and they are by far the best hand sanding block I have ever used. There is much less wasted sandpaper and they are very comfortable to use. I purchased this one to add another grit of sandpaper without having to change the sandpaper.

Super tool! Have purchased sexeral lesser model over the years and made my own. Where was this when I needed it? Fits the hand and the weight makes adding pressure unneccessary. Changing paper is a snap.

Lightweight & fits comfortably in my hand. Sandpaper is simple to attach, especially compared to the normal sanding blocks with the nails that clamp down on the sandpaper.This is a joy to have & I am happy I purchased it!

I have soreness in my hands and I must be careful how much time I spend hand sanding. I have purchased several other sanding blocks and have yet to &quot;feel&quot; comfortable with them. This is different. When you use it the feel is unusual in that you don't seem to get anything accomplished. When you look at the job it is completed! It seems effortless.

This is it! THE best sanding block out there. I have two of them, and although the sandpaper is super easy to change, I plan on getting a couple more just so I can have one fitted with each grade to work up in the grits. I realize that's a little extravagant, but the thing is a joy to use, if you can call sanding a joy.Granted, it is a bit on the expensive side for a sanding block, but you can do with just one if you like.This thing grips the sandpaper perfectly, and holds it securely. Better than any other block I've ever used. Highly recommended.

I hesitated before buying this, given that it was more than twice as much as another sanding block on display right next to it. But I liked the look and feel so I took the plunge.

I've only used it one weekend, but am quite happy so far. The lever-lock gripping mechanism means that almost the entire surface area of the sandpaper is usable, unlike other blocks where a good inch+ of each end is effectively wasted.

Only con, besides the price, is that it's a bit heavy, so extended sessions working overhead might become a bit wearying. But that's a minor gripe - I like it enough that I may well buy another one or two so I can have multiple grits to hand at the same time.

I purchased one per the recommendation of my long term advisor at the Orange shop, Guy. He warned me how much I would enjoy it. I did and have. I also returned to buy two more, one to keep and one as a gift. Now, I have kept all three. Three colors, I set them up with three different grits, and the prep process has never been easier. I make furniture, refurbish furniture, and am a handy man for several people. This is the proverbial better mouse trap.

Wow, what a sander. You probably wonder what there is to be excited about, it's just a sander. This thing is very comfortable, has a solid feel, and it floats. I could literally use it all day and not suffer the way I do after just an hour with any of the others on the market. Trust me, it's that nice. Get one or more and see for yourself.

This is by far the best sanding block I have ever used and now have 3 of them with different grits of sandpaper loaded in each. It is very easy to change sandpaper, uses almost all of the sandpaper and is comfortable to hold and use. The cost seemed a little high when I purchased the first one but after using it for just a short time feel that it is worth it.

My hands have arthritis and I've searched for a comfortable solution for those times only a sanding block will do. I finally found my comfortable and versatile solution. I thought having more than one was a waste but I got a couple for gifts and now don't under why you would not want multiples now. It works so well that I have three (blue, yellow and red). I put the most aggressive grit in red, next grit in yellow and my least aggressive in blue.

Much easier to load sandpaper on this block than the "rubber blocks". Sandpaper fits tighter and stainless clips hold sandpaper in place much better. Has a longer flat surface for better smoothing. Fits my hand just right. Great addition to my "preppin" arsenal !

I love it !!! it is so easy to hold on to while sanding and so easy to change the paper. I have been using the rubber sanding blocks for years and they are good for smaller areas, but this sanding block is better for larger case pieces. I will probably buy another 1 or 2 so as not to change the grit of the paper as often. I really like the Norton sandpaper, that I bought on the same order, much better than the sandpaper that I have been using for years. I would recommend both articles to a friend.

I initially thought this was very expensive for a sanding block.After using it I found it very comfortable in the hand to use, and it saves on sandpaper with the short end lever clips. The longer block helps sand wood more evenly. the block size matches the cut sand paper strips cut from the larger sheets.

GREAT FOR THOSE TIMES WHEN YOU REALLY DON'T NEED YOUR POWER SANDER OR HAVE TO SAND A PLACE WHERE THE SAW LEFT A MARK. THE DAY I GOT MINE I WAS PUTTING A DOOR ON A MITER STATION I MADE. THE DOOR WAS A LITTLE TIGHT, SOI TRIED OUT THE PREPPIN WEAPON. LUCKY ME, IN ABOUT 10 MINUTES, IT FIT GREAT. GLAD I BOUGHT IT AND I USE IT ALL THE TIME.

Just buy it - we all sand - and we all need to do it by hand sometimes. This little beauty will make it a pleasure to do so. My only regret, you ask? That I didn't buy the yellow one, because it would reflect how happy it makes me.

Like most of us I sand because I have to, not because I enjoy it.I have used a variety of shop built/purchased sanding blocks over the years with the same goals in mind; good sanding performance with the least amount of effort,economical use of sandpaper,and ease of changing paper.This sander is a clear winner in every catagory.

The Preppin' Weapon Sanding Block takes a full quarter sheet, cut crosswise. It holds the paper with an easy to use lever and holds the ends tightly, with little unused paper. Combine this with Norton 3x paper, buy two or three Preppin' Weapons, each with finer grit, and you're set for a smoothing experience. The contoured grip gives you firm control with little fatigue. The easy lever and clasp action does not wound you like the nail attachment of other rubber sanding blocks. Hint: Vacuum your paper and your work piece to extend the paper's usefulness and keep you from sanding sawdust.
